I'm looking forward to it as well! The two teams are pretty evenly matched, should be a good game. As long as England win obviously.

I think the lack of hype in the English media has a lot to do with it.
Out on penalties again. Tough way to go but in all honesty England didn't deserve to win that match, I'm surprised they even got it to penalties.

I don't think the Italians are all that good. They couldn't beat New Zealand two years ago.
England were shocking. Time to ring the changes (again).

Or Slovakia.
Just thankful Italy have 2006 as their most recent tournament win, as opposed to 1966!

Italy didn't have anything to prove in the 2006 World Cup- they have more to prove this time.
Still think Germany are going to pulverize us.

England were woeful tonight. Someone should tell them about this little thing there is in football called possession.

You never know with Italy. I wouldn't like to predict how the tournament will go now.

Apparently, and I'm guessing from the comments we didn't do well. Maybe Europe hates us so much they refuse to give us the ball?

You must be awfully cold, you know what with being in a cave with this wet weather.
Germany will surely win over Italy. I think the final will be Spain v Germany. And Germany might win it.

Ugh I hope not.
Germany are the over-acheivers of Europe at the moment!
I'm still backing Spain, have done right from the start so not gonna change now. I'm quite happy for a team with that kind of quality to dominate for a while. They were massive underachievers for a long time so it's nice to see them do so well (even if they did give my team a thumping).

Shoot.
I'm known for my sincerity and rationale, so I'm the perfect person to dispense words of wisdom.
